Q: Im Only 13 But I Feel Like My Life Is Over

Hi,

I'm 13 and already so much in my life has happened which are making me extremely depressed. My twin died of cancer when I was young and in two years i moved school 3 times! When my sister died I didn't understand and I wanted 2 be with her.Then this year my best friend died when I was with him. This brought back all of my bad memories. I have been anorexic/ bulimic for sometime and after my friends death I felt extremely depressed. I began 2 cut myself. Then I couldn't stop and I still can't. The scars are getting worse and worse and I can't seem to help it. I sometimes feel worthless and wonder what I have left to live for. I considered suicide once, but i thought self harming was better because then I could be a doctor like I always wanted and help people...but how can I help people if I can't help myself. Can anyone help me on what to do?

thankyou for your time...my other posts are in the eating disorder section if you have any help for that.

I know you really don't want to hear this, but harming yourself is one of the stupidest things you can do. Although I'm 16, I used to feel th same way about my life. I'm overweight, I'm sometimes rude when I don't mean to be, and (remembering the fact that I'm 16) I'm going bald. Any idea how unnattractive that is to 16 year old girls? The only people who ever look past the outside are the people that have taken the time to get to know me. And those few have remained my good friends since I've met them. Don't do this to yourself. I don't even know your name and it hurts me to know someone so young has already considered suicide. As for the eating disorder, well I'm guessing that's because you think you're not beautiful, well I've never seen your nor heard your voice but I know you're beautiful, and don't let anyone else ever tell you different. If you need someone to talk to I'm here.

I am very sorry to hear this. You have been through very hard times and I really think you should go and talk to a counsellor or a doctor about this. I know it seems easier to ask for help on the internet but there is only so much people can do to help you online. So please go and see someone. Take care Smile
